Zhuge Yun couldn't help but be moved.
Although Xu Chunniang did not receive the task, her desire to help her fellow disciples trapped in the secret realm escape was the same as his.
Knowing that there were many protective formations in the room, as the matter was of great importance, he still extended his spiritual sense to check again, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was correct.
Zhuge Yun looked cautious and serious, and lowered his voice.
"Junior sister, this item is very important. Do not take it out easily, so as not to be noticed by others."
After saying this, he used the secret art of voice transmission to briefly inform her of the mission.
Xu Chunniang nodded, "I understand."
Zhuge Yun thought about it, gave her a few instructions, and then let her leave first.
Watching the figure disappear in the room, he leaned back, his expression slightly relaxed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This junior sister really gave him a surprise...
She had accomplished something that even he hadn't done.
Even though her cultivation is not obvious now, she has such strength. Given time, she will definitely be able to shine ten or a hundred times brighter.
He chuckled softly, and after a while, he slowly drew a formation with blood to contact the sect.
After Xu Chunniang left the room, she did not return to her room, but left the inn and walked outside.
It has been nearly ten days since Xie Changyuan disappeared. His soul lamp is still on, but there is no news from him. Even Master Hunyuan could not find any trace of him.
Because of this incident, the city has been in a depressing atmosphere these days, and there are fewer monks walking on the streets.
Occasionally I saw a few of them, but they were all in a hurry.
When I passed by the auction house, there happened to be a small auction being held inside, but the number of participants was only one-third of the usual number.
Xu Chunniang withdrew her gaze, wrapped herself in a tall cloak, walked across the auction venue, and took advantage of the gradually fading sky to walk into a remote alley.
There was someone guarding the entrance of the alley. That person was relatively small, and wore a green mask with fangs on his face, blocking any prying eyes.
In order to find the map of Tianyuan Secret Realm, Xu Chunniang had come to this black market hidden behind the alley once or twice before, so this was her third time here.
The black market is a huge trading market in the city. As long as there are enough spirit stones, all kinds of things can be found here.
It sounds dangerous, but in fact, the black market is a safer place than an auction venue.
Because all the people who caused trouble in the black market were dead. As time went by, naturally no one dared to cause trouble here.
After weighing the spirit stone, the masked man threw out a jade talisman and then stopped moving.
Xu Chunniang didn't think much of it. After taking the jade talisman, she walked deeper into the alley.
The alley was narrow at first, only allowing one or two people to pass through.
When the jade talisman passed through a certain place, it broke without warning. It was a disposable item. The next time you wanted to go to the black market, you had to buy a new jade talisman.
The further you go in, the more spacious it becomes. In the end, it is even more noisy and lively than the streets outside.
This black market is hidden in an alley, but it is bustling with people, many monks coming and going, and there is no sign of it being affected by the atmosphere in the city.
Many words that cannot be expressed out loud have found an outlet here.
In the brightly lit restaurant, monks were drinking and chatting in groups of three or four, with words constantly floating out.
"I heard that two days ago, someone found traces of those two people in the area west of the city."
"West of the city? That's where low-level independent cultivators gather, and it's a mixed bag. If the Blood Rakshasa couple had been hiding there for the past few days, they might have avoided detection. But I still can't figure out why they did this."
"I do have a guess. I heard that Third Master Xie has been preparing for the Golden Core in the past two years. They may be taking action this time for the Golden Yuan Pill in his hand..."
Xu Chunniang passed by the restaurant and heard a piece of news. It turned out that the evil couple had a resounding nickname, called Blood Rakshasa.
I hope these two guys are smart and don’t get caught by the people from the City Lord’s Mansion so quickly.
She calmed her mind, walked around a few streets, and turned a corner into a completely black attic.
Sensing that a guest was coming, someone would soon come to lead the way, making "creaking" sounds as they walked.
It turned out that the person who was leading the way was not a real person, but a real wooden man.
Xu Chunniang glanced at the wooden man and then looked away. This was her first time stepping into the Tianji Tower.
Tianji Tower is a property under the name of Tianji Pavilion. It makes a living by selling intelligence and knows many confidential matters.
The wooden man led the way in front, led her into a small house and then left.
Xu Chunniang took a quick look and saw that the walls of the hut were empty except for a table and chairs in the middle.
On the table lay a palm-sized jade plaque and a pen of unknown material.
As for the rules of buying and selling information in Tianji Tower, she had just taken a quick look in the hall and had already understood most of them.
Seeing the jade plaque and the pen now, he understood everything clearly.
She no longer hesitated, walked forward, sat on the chair, picked up the pen and began to write on the jade tablet.
After she wrote down the question, a line of words appeared on the jade token: To get the answer, 30,000 spirit stones would be needed.
Xu Chunniang took out the spirit stone directly and placed it on the table as instructed.
Just after the spirit stone was placed on the table, a white light emanated from the table, and a formation diagram lit up, instantly engulfing the spirit stone.
The white light disappeared, the table became empty again, and the formation diagram disappeared with it.
The characters on the jade plate changed quietly.
Xu Chunniang did not look at the jade token. Her eyes fell on the empty table and a bright light flashed.
The formation diagram that just lit up was a teleportation formation.
Those formation diagrams are very complicated, but compared to the formation diagrams in the Tiandao Palace, they seem very simple.
Among the five major sects, there are not many inheritances about teleportation arrays.
I didn't expect that the Tianji Pavilion could use the teleportation array to such an extent.
Xu Chunniang calmed down and turned her attention back to the jade token.
What was displayed on the jade token was a vermilion pill, with an extremely detailed description next to it.
After seeing the contents of the jade token, she did not show it on her face, but she was certain in her heart.
What the protector gave her was the elixir that could keep her youthful forever.
Xu Chunniang erased the contents on the jade tablet and was about to leave, but suddenly changed her mind and wrote a new line of words on the blank jade tablet.
The jade token quickly responded. The price for getting the answer to this question was 300,000 spirit stones.
Seeing this sky-high price, Xu Chunniang's eyes twitched slightly.
In addition to the two top-grade spirit stones, she also obtained some wealth in the Tianyuan Secret Realm.
Adding what she originally had and what she got from selling the monsters, the total was exactly 300,000.
I just spent 30,000, and only 270,000 is left.
She just wanted to know who the owner of the Demon Soul was, but she didn't expect it to be so expensive.
Xu Chunniang let out a light breath, erased the words on the jade token again, and wrote a new line of words about the teleportation array.
However, after she wrote down the question, a light flashed in the jade token, and the words she had just written disappeared inexplicably.
